Yes, and do it during the inspection period, not after closing. A pool inspection by a licensed pool contractor reveals leaks, plumbing failures, equipment issues, and structural concerns before they become your repair bills.
Call (954) 290-5177, Schedule During Inspection Period →Yes. Get the pool inspected by a licensed pool contractor during the inspection period, not after closing. A pool inspection reveals active leaks, underground pipe failures, equipment problems, code violations, and structural concerns that a general home inspector does not have the training or equipment to assess. In South Florida, many residential pools are 20 to 40 years old and frequently have undisclosed repair needs that only show up under professional testing.
Most general home inspectors turn on the pool equipment, look at the water surface, and note obvious visible conditions. They do not dive in. They do not perform dye testing at underwater fittings. They do not pipe test the plumbing. As a result, the most common pool leaks, skimmer separations, light niche leaks, and underground pipe failures, go undetected in a general home inspection.
A pool specialist with a CPC contractor license and actual diagnostic equipment is the only way to know whether the pool has a leak before you close on the property.
I do real estate pool inspections regularly in South Florida. The number of pools I have inspected that had active leaks, confirmed by dye testing and pipe testing during the visit, that the general home inspector noted as "pool appeared functional" would surprise most buyers.
